A Yeovil man accused of threatening violence towards a woman has had his case adjourned until next month.

Lee Vernon Rodber, 47, of Wilton Road, is charged that on July 23 at Yeovil he used towards the complainant threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause her to believe that immediate violence would be used against her, or that such violence would be provoked.

The defendant was due to appear before Somerset Magistrates at Yeovil to enter his plea but the case was adjourned at the request of the defence.
